Sweet Tea Extract In Stock: Natural Rubusoside
Getting a clean-label sweetener that won't blow your ingredient cost is still a headache for many formulators. Sweet tea extract, derived from Rubus suavissimus, hits a sweet spot—rubusoside delivers roughly 200 times the sweetness of sucrose without the calories. Hunan Huacheng Biotech keeps stock on hand and runs the whole chain from leaf to finished powder. Every batch goes through in-house HPLC testing, and we've seen plenty of beverage and bakery projects get off the ground faster when supply isn't a bottleneck. If you're reformulating a sports drink or a fruit filling and need a budget-friendly alternative that dissolves easily, this extract might be what you've been looking for.
Technical Detail
Rubusoside, the main diterpene glycoside in sweet tea extract, behaves a lot like steviol glycosides in water—clear solubility, good heat stability up to standard pasteurization, and a sugar-like onset that doesn't linger. Typical extracts from our facility carry a minimum 95% total glycosides by UV, with rubusoside itself above 80% in many lots. Because we own the cultivar propagation and extraction under one roof in Hunan, the cost structure is lean. That's how we compete as a budget option without dropping the certifications: FDA-registered, HACCP, GMP, and BRC. From a technical standpoint, using rubusoside at 0.02–0.05% in a finished beverage can replace 6–10% sugar solids, which matters when you're trimming both sugar and freight weight. We routinely ship it for iced teas, dairy desserts, and even toothpaste where a natural non-cariogenic sweetener is needed.

FAQ
Rubusoside tends to come in at a lower price per sweetness unit compared to mogroside V concentrates. Its taste is cleaner than some stevia extracts, with less bitterness, though it can still exhibit a mild astringency if overdosed. For moderate sugar reduction, many find it blends well with erythritol or inulin.
We mainly stock a spray-dried powder with standard 95% total glycosides. For orders above 100 kg we can do a custom mesh size or a higher rubusoside fraction if your formulation needs it, but that adds lead time.
Typical shelf life is 24 months from the date of manufacture when kept sealed in a cool, dry place. We pack in food-grade PE liners inside fiber drums. Once opened, we recommend milling the entire contents into a closed container to prevent clumping.
Yes. We ship out 30-gram evaluation samples within two working days for stock items. Just tell us your target application and we'll include a typical usage rate sheet.
Currently our conventional line is certified under FDA and BRC, not USDA Organic. We are working on an organic-certified batch, but right now the stock material follows conventional GMP and HACCP standards.
